Just $1 can help avert 10 years of farmed animal suffering.
I decided to give $250,000 as a donation match to @farmkind_giving after learning about the outsized opportunities to help. FarmKind directs your contributions to the most effective charities in this area.
Please consider contributing, even if it’s a small amount. Together, we can double each other's impact and give a total of $500,000. Use the link below to donate with my match.
Bluntly, there are some listeners who are in a position to give much more. Given how neglected this topic is, one such person could singlehandedly change the game for 10s of billions of animals.
If you’re considering donating $50k or more, please reach out directly to @Lewis_Bollard and his team by DMing him, or emailing andres@openphilanthropy.org
